Little bit left in me

I love the Taters in general, but there's a scene stealer on this album and it's called Little Bit Left in Me. I hope the listeners appreciate the craftsmanship of this song. It is a masterpiece of writing and execution. Just thinking about what he does with that guitar makes me blush.

The songs are great! So refreshing to hear guys singing NEW songs that say something, you can understand the words and feel the emotion. Sounds like a newer and better version of some of the great 60s singers and songs!

The future of the Americana genre is in good hands with this act... coming off of a release that put them on the proverbial indie roots rock map, and the pressure was on to produce results that measure up to the grandiose dreams generated by that venerable release. This band delivers in spades.
After their last release, Burnt Taters had press hailed on them from no higher authority than Billboard. After a few listens, this reviewer feels they've surpassed the prior effort and grown as performers and songwriters in the while.
Songs like "Do You Dream?" and "By Myself" sound as timeless as Dwight Yoakam's best work, making bands like the Mavericks wish they had a tad more genuine charisma.
As much folk as country, this band has as much potential as the perennial folk touring favorites Eddie From Ohio, should they choose to add bongos and some electric instrumentation and hit the frat circuit (Though that isn't suggested here). Never feeling forced nor contrived, as the works of many of the bands in the Alt-country genre often seem, this disk will hit heavy rotation on my summer cd player, and should do the same in AAA and Americana station playlists nationwide.
